Lindbergh made an appearance at the Berlin Film Festival in February for a documentary about him called “Women’s Stories.”

The Instagram message said the photographer, who also directed films and documentaries, had died on Sept. 3. It gave no further details, saying only he was survived by his wife Petra, his first wife Astrid, four sons and seven grandchildren.
